Grants for nonprofits serving veterans

Grants for nonprofits and veterans service organizations that serve veterans, service members and their families: national funders that take applications year-round, state veterans funds (Texas and Pennsylvania are open now), and regional utility programs that name veterans as a priority. Several require audited financials, so check the eligibility line before you start.
